I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Pete Davidson has left SNL after seven years.
He’s got some exciting new projects coming up, but I personally feel like Pete would do pretty well if he decided to pivot to music.
Yes, his jokes on Weekend Update were great, but his song sketches really stole the show.
1. Over the years, Pete's used his talents to bring us some hits that are as hilarious as they are relatable, like when he said what we're all thinking about film lengths:

This one was a literal game-changer — we now have a short-ass movies section on Netflix!
2. And when he showed up as Regina King's weed-gummy-induced hallucination, which might possibly be SNL's catchiest song ever.

Shout out to Marge Simpson.

6. This tune was the epitome of "when everyone in the group project pulls their weight."

Ego's verse was iconic, Pete's flow was flawless, Bad Bunny delivered his classic sound, and Rege was the cherry on top.
8. Pete and Chris Redd should just team up and give us an album, tbh.

Dr. Dre would be proud (I'm sure).
9. I mean, who else could pay homage to Ruth Bader Ginsburg and make us wanna dance at the same time?!

It's all about the yeet.
11. This Kid Cudi collab still feels like a fever dream, but I'm not mad about it.

This one was so catchy, even Timothée Chalamet couldn't resist coming back for more.
12. And you wouldn't expect DJ Khaled to show up to rap about Grace and Frankie with Pete and Paul Rudd, but here we are.

13. This was the Danny Trejo appreciation song we didn't know we needed.

15. Let's talk about the parodies — will you ever listen to "Gucci Gang" the same again?

No, no you won't.
16. And we can't forget the tribute to his hometown.

17. He channelled Eminem while making NFTs as interesting as they could possibly be...

18. And he even got the stamp of approval with a cameo from Marshall Mathers himself.

My guess is Em heard, "Hey Santa, I drank a fifth of eggnog, dare me to drive," and knew he had to get involved.
19. So it was only fitting that his final musical performance was a homage to Lorne Michaels, to the tune of "Forgot About Dre."
